Application filed September 1,1 1926. Serial No. 133,010.

provide a shaving brush having a magazine to hold the shaving cream and means to.

trade the cream amongst the bristles. Other objects will appear as the disclosure progresses. The drawings. are intended merely LO indicate a possible embodiment of the invention. It is obvious that the actual needs of manufacture may necessitate certain mechanical changes. It is, therefore, not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment illustrated, but rather to define such limits in the appended claims.

For a detailed understanding of the in vention, attention is now called to the drawings in which a preferred embodimentis shown illustrated.

Figure 1 is a view of the exterior of the shaving brush.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a similar view as Fig. 2, showing the shaving cream extruding from the magazine.

Fig. i is a section on line 4:4 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a section on line 55 of F151. 2.

6 is a section on line 6 6 of Flg. 2.

Fig. 7 is an enlarged detall view of the stem and stem guide. i

Referring to the drawings in detall, in which like rcference characters denote like parts throughout the specification, numeral 1 designates the body of the brush having a head 2 screwed thereto.

The head is provided with a recess 3 into which are vulcanized the bristles i. The bottom of the head is provided with a neck 5 to which is fastened a magazine 6 made of flexible material such as rubber or the like, for holding the shaving cream therein.

Below the magazine is a plate 7 supported on a stem 8 and having a knob 10 at the bottom. To keep the stem in a central position with respect to the body 1 a guide is pro: vided. Underneath the plate 7 are a pair oi. tension springs 12 for keeping the plate normally in a downward position.

Slidably fastened within the head 2 is a cover plate 13. The purpose of this cover plate is to shut off the supply of shaving cream when the brush is not, in use. The cover plate as shown in Fig. 4 is provlded with anopening 14 which registers w th an opening 15 in the head 2. Imbedded 1n the head are four pins numeral 16, wh ch fit n the slots 17 of the cover plate. The purpose of th1s arrangement is'to guide and limit the extreme outward position of the said plate.

A tached to the end of the plate is a knob 18 which looks itself in cavity 19 of the head 2 when the plate is pushed inwardly.

Fastened to the stem 8 is an arm 20 adapted'to move in a slot 21 formed in the body of the brush. The slot so arranged that the: stem 8 an be revolved one-quarter turn to the left and then be pushed upward.

The operation of this device is as follows: For forcing the shaving cream among the bristles of the brush the slidable plate is first pulled downward so the knob 18 will. clear the cavity 19 and thence pulled outward. in a position as shown in Fig. 3. The opening 14 in the plate will then register with the opening 15 in the head 2. The

knob 10 is next gripped, revolved one-quarter turn to the-left the arm 20 at the same time noving in the guide, and thence moved upward. This will cause the plate 7 to press against the bottom of the flexible magazine and thereby force the shaving cream out amongst the bristles of the brush. When enough cream has been forced out to serve the purpose the knob is released and the plate 7 will be pulled down by theaction of the springs 12 and then the knob is manually turned to the rlght one-quarter turn so the arm will lock itself in the position in the guide as shown in Fig. 3.

As noted in Figs. 3 and 7 the stem 8 at the top is provided with four lugs numeral 22. The purpose of these lugs is to make a frictional contact with the guide 11 and pre vent the accidental movement of the stem 8 when locked in the position as shown in Fig. 2.

Having thus described my invention what I desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:

1. In a dispensing device comprising a. hollow body portion; a head screwed onto said body portion, a slidable plate having an opening therein slidably fastened to said head, a flexible magazine having shaving cream therein, and means to force the shaving cream out of the said magazine through the said opening in the slidable plate, the said means consisting of a movable plate normally kept out of cont-act with the magazine by a pair of tension springs, a stem, a knob attached to said stem, the said plate a pte to terse the bqttom of the ma azine upward by partly revolvingandmoving the said knob upward 2. In a dispensing device comprising a hollow body portion, a head screwed onto said body portion, a slidable platehaving an opening therein slidably fastened to said,l1kl,,an flexible magazine having shaving cream therein and means to force, theshav' 7 cream out of the said magazine through tie said opening in the slidableplate, the said means consisting of a movable plate normally kept outof contact with the magazine by a pair of tension springs, a stem, having an arm attached thereto, said arm adapted to move in a groove provided in said body portion, a knob attached to said stem, the said plate adapted to force the bottom of the magazine upward by partly revolving and moving the said kno pwa d,

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
